A Devotional for the Morning

Live Peaceably on God's Earth

Love is the nexus of life. Let it flow.

the strength of the heart is the beauty of love. When love enraptures the heart, the spirit of the loving God takes abode. Open your heart to love you may come to know the gift of true love. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

God showed us love with the gift of His only Son. As believers, we emulate the work of Christ. As we use our talents to work in His vineyard, our love should flow freely from our hearts that we may uplift souls to Christ. Jesus said:

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another, As I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another: John 13:34-35

In the deeds that you do, in the gifts that you give, in the words that you speak, let love as the nexus of your life.
